The Truth about News Today Straight From The Newsroom

- This scene from Season 3 Episode 5 of The Newsroom shows exactly what is wrong with today's "news". People only want to hear entertainment instead of actually educating themselves about the world they live in.

"People don't read it with the expectation of it being true!!!' - the exact moment where Sloan decided to go for the kill and boy oh boy, did she go for it!!!!
She’s not a real oerson
@@bdub8522 No shit, Sherlock 🤣🤣
@@bdub8522 No, but this really did happen. Specifically to Jimmy Kimmel
@@siddmic well that’s good to hear then. Thanks.
Unfortunately, that same argument has been successfully used in court.
This word for word actually happened. Jimmy Kimmel was involved. The girl with the website literally had the same comebacks. I am glad this came on the show.
Shailesh Rana the argument basically boiled down to “take me seriously enough to market this, but don’t take me seriously enough that I have to take any responsibility”.its beyond childish that they expected to get away with defending their product by saying it doesn’t actually work and isn’t reviewed by staff

@@titmaus7732 Pretty late, but I wanted to provide a link for the people that come across this: th-cam.com/video/2-avakrRUaU/w-d-xo.html
@@TheController500 Thanks for the link! Awesome to see it actually happened!
Except I think Kristen Bell was used instead of Gwenth Paltrow
Now that the rehearsal is over, let's put Mark Zuckerberg in that chair, 🤣🤣🤣.
I'd pay money to see that.
@@paulhoon7940 you won't pay stop lying
@@saraaddadi6944 Well I would pay, not a lot though. Maybe $10 for a seat ticket to see that happen but that's about it.
At least Zuckerberg doesn't pretend FB is citizen journalism
@@saraaddadi6944 he might not but if Sloan Sabbith were real, i would absolutely pay to watch her eviscerate zuck in front of millions of people.
That was epic. Her words where a freakin katana!
Love the subtle Psylocke reference. :)
I see what you did there.
Jimmy Kimmel did this first.
Whoa racist.
A freaking Hattori Hanzo.
NEVER get in a war of words with Sloan.
rcoveyduc Never get in to a Land War in Asia
You've mistaken Sloan, for really good writing. Moving on.
@CD Smith That was a cultural reference that you either missed, or didn't get the joke.
@@josephstanski5180 That makes zero sense. Sloan is a character, the product of said good writing. So essentially you're saying "you've mistaken a written character for the writing done for that character."
@@jadefalcon001 Hello straw man, it is sad that even when you are incorrectly reframing the argument you are still wrong. I laughed when I read 'that makes zero sense' and then read your bullshit. You are accusing someone of doing something, while you are doing it in that very same breathe (making no sense).
A more accurate characterization would be: you've mistaken a character for their writer. But of course this is not what you wanted to argue since it is harder and would require nuance.
You are bad at this, and you should feel embarrassed
Jesus. Don't you wish real newspeople were like this?
Some are. Not all but dig a little and spend a bit time researching and you will find them.
@Anteiluvian Atheist some are. This scene was inspirated (even word by word) by this interview:
th-cam.com/video/2-avakrRUaU/w-d-xo.html
Jimmy Dore.
Mmmm yes. Hell yes. That's a big yes. Why aren't they??
It was real, real story dramatised
STOP! STOP! HE'S ALREADY DEAD!
KEEP BEATING THE HORSE!!!!
No one cares if the horse is dead as long as in this case it stays dead........we don't want any zombie horses mucking about
The writing on this show was so good it took Oliva Munn from Attack of the show comedy hosting to being a serious actress worthy of an Emmy. She was that damn good
If only this is how journalists interviewed today. Keep the politicians honest and don't give them an inch to lie.
theres a reason it isn't. they can refuse to sit down for an interview or get up and leave if they want to. this is why journalists keep things soft because if they antagonize their interviewee, they could lose them in real life and not get the story they want. this isnt because they want to, far from it.
The politicians will just go to a more friendly and or partisan owned safe space news organization where they will be treated with kids gloves,

This was in real life - this interview is almost word for word from an interview Jimmy Kimmel did with the editor from Gawker about the Gawker Stalker app back in 2007
that was the reason in the show that they weren't allowed to interview one of the candidates
"and by the way I've managed to do it without lying once" AGH FUCKING QUEEN
"I'm intentionally stripping you of your dignity. By the way, I've managed to do it without lying once." BOOM. Don't f**k with Solan
Really can't find a show that's more pressing and relevant to reality than the Newsroom nowadays...
and its set in 2012
@@marcelo2169and still, it’s relevant
The level of conciseness in the writing and acting here is just some next level.
The clip is just 200 seconds, yet could almost be used as a thesis on a number of subjects.
But all Sorkin did was copy the Jimmy Kimmel interview almost word for word.
Big Brother Will taught Sloan very well! That's the kind of kickass interview that Will would have conducted without working up a sweat! Even Mackenzie was impressed.
This is more of an indictment of Gawker I'd think. There's a great interview like this actually with Jimmy Kimmel, Larry King, and a rep from Gawker.
Jimmy Kimmel's repping for Larry in that interview. Good catch.
Sorkin used some of the rep's actual responses in this scene; specifically, some of the stupider things this guy says.
th-cam.com/video/2-avakrRUaU/w-d-xo.html thank me later
Thanks for posting that link. Some people should take a look at their life.
@@Belioyt thank you (i hope it was later enough)
This show is criminally underrated
I'd pay a months wage to see a real journalist ripping apart a journalist pretender like this on live TV :D :D :D
Why don't you pay it and see what happens? What's that? They don't want your lunch money?
This is based on a real interview which was actually conducted by Jimmy Kimmel against the Gawker editor
You're gonna love Tucker Carlson then.
@@asparrow9876 on the receiving end, yes. The guy is an embarrasment just like every other fox news cultist.
@@asparrow9876 Tucker Carlson is even further from a journalist than this guy. Tucker Carlson purposefully spews lies to fit his agenda, at least this guy just let's other people do what they want (closer to Zuckerberg)
I really miss that show, and the West Wing...just something really entertaining bout them
Coincidence that Sorkin created both? I think not!
@@RonnieR29 Theres "something" about his writing that makes me almost compelled to listen. The West Wing and The Newsroom are not the sort of shows I would choose to watch but I cant tear myself away from listening to it. Im pretty sure I would enjoy them in the same way if they were radio shows.
I try to explain to my friends why The Newsroom is so highly rated and why they should choose to watch it but I can never quite put my finger on it.
Its like trying to explain to a Pet owner why they should get a Cat. You can say the words but it never does them justice. You have to own one to understand.
Hear hear! Let's get Sorkin to do another show or let's get West Wing or Newsroom back!
This is one of my favorite segments of any show ever. I also like how supportive Don was, though that part wasn't shown here. Aaron Sorkin is a legend.
Don is a Fuckin newsman…if Will ever says different we punch him in the face.
Hats off to the actor playing the idiot, he made him one of the most unlikable side characters in the show
Reminds me of that douce bag that raised a life saving drug by thousands of percentages and then tried to defend it.
@@toddstevens13 That could be a number of companies, but I'm guessing you mean Martin Shkreli.
What a show and what a cast. Absolutely loved this.
Problem is that people believe whatever is put out on the tv without factual clarity! It's too easy and lazy to do otherwise!
@clit_niblr036 trump, and what every other political, celeb, or anyone always tells the truth and nothing but. Clinton lost, when she lost the person who didn't lose wins. How did she lose? Maybe that more vital to fix than why the other person won.
@clit_niblr036 if ur playing a game and loose but win cause ur the best dressed YOU LOST THE GAME!. Would u have also said trump won if he had popular vote but lost by the rules. How stupid do u have to be to campaign for pop vote and not elect college. Jethus I thought she was a bad candidate but not even knowing the voting system.
@clit_niblr036 are you a troll? Im guessing you think that Fox News always lies while CNN and other big media companies always tell the truth?
clit_niblr036 that’s just sore losing no? Were you complaining when Obama won? He seemed to do well enough
People will believe anything that would make them feel better about their own life. And it's much easier to destroy someone else's pedestal than to build up your own. The point is to allow yourself standing taller than the other person, no matter how you achieve that. This is why stories about the made-up misfortunes of celebrities are so addictive. They are the painkillers of the destitute.
She was so savage but spot on with realism.
Hella respect for Sloane right there🖒😉
Respect for a fictitious character ...
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 nothing wrong with that in the slightest
@@yoriichishiranui9537 Nothing right with it either. Respect for someone who doesn't exist ... ?
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 I think you're missing sone fundamental aspects of your personality if this concept is giving you problems
@@TheKyrix82 Insults is all you got? So let me get this straight, because I don't believe what you and others believe, there's something wrong with me? Seems more like you have far more serious issues than I do. One being a Superiority Complex to start with ...
There's NO way the average salary of a family of 4 is half of $55K?
God, I miss this show.
after 3yrs --- I was so disappointed it wouldn't continue. The concept was soooo uniuqe too. We'll report the news (years after it actually happened) to show "what" it could have been.
I love that Mac defended Sloane and let her do the interview this way
Newsroom needs to come back
If interviews were this good in real life I might still be watching tv...
this interviews dialog was lifted from an Interview from Jimmy Kimmel with the creater of Gawker
It happens in real life. th-cam.com/video/2-avakrRUaU/w-d-xo.html
idc what anyone says; this show was ahead of it's time, and the main-stream-media & right wingers couldn't get it. they hated the idea of being called out for being reality-tv-entertainment instead of what they should've been doing; which was reporting the news with integrity. I hope someone, somewhere, re-ignites this masterpiece, given the sh1t show Murikkka has been going through since the Obama-era to Drumpf and the Jan 6th Committee Hearings
it's all a show to grandstand over the other guy. "You are a moron. Let me list the top 10 reasons why". Both parties do that, so there's no chance to open communication. That was quite bipartisan of me, let me end it with. GOP has been worse at this.
It used already-reported events, which made it behind the time. Sorkin laid his left-wing ideology over the production, showing women as abusive hardnuts and men as incompetent wimps. Putting in credible segments like this one here provided the base of the show, allowing "the message" to be associated with solid entertainment. The right-wing DID get it; that's the reason they attacked it.
No, both parties don't do that. Republicans engage in wild innuendo that is rarely backed up with any evidence, whether that R. is a politician like Boebert, MTG, Comer, Gaetz or any other politician, the FOX talking heads or the average Trump follower. What the Democrats do is shows like Jordan Klepper's where he allows those R. to hang themselves with their own stupid comments and ideas and Democrat politicians who take those R. to task in committees where they can 'hang' them with their own stupid talking points/accusations, etc. @@tokyworld
Sloan Sabbith For The Win!!! I miss this show so much.
This is my favorite moment from the show. Besides all and the others of my favorite moments.
She beat the s#!+ out a him with the truth, awesome!!! :)
"If you seek to destroy people with lies, you can be destroyed with the truth."
That guy has made a career of playing sleazeball characters. He is unnervingly good at it.
Wow!!! Sloan completely destroyed that guy!!!
LOL
"Leave her on as long as she wants" -- THAT is the kind of producer news sources NEED. Along with someone with the frightening brain power of Sloan.
Please put this back in the air.
I never get tired of watching this oh my god.
Priceless ! ! !
Loved this segment. Leave the celebrities' ALONE and let them live life. Good grief stalkers.
Yes, they are famous and there are obviously down-sides to that but they are also human, they have kids, and they have private lives. Social Media especially makes it way too easy to violate those lives and step over the line.
This is why we love Olivia Munn. Nice.
Pure gold.
She was right when she said men felt intimidated by her intelligence. I am no exception but somehow, her intelligence turned me on lol
Sloan: "I make nerds look good."
Intimidated, not intimated.
@@marilynbeardslee2163 thank you
Don's smile at 3:17 is amazing.
Rip and tear untill it is done
Sloan - The News Slayer
She just ripped him a new one.
"I don't think celebrities are one of the bigger problems facing us"
This show was before Kayne lost what was left of his mind.
She freaking skewered him.
Respect girl!
OWNED on Live TV.....Talk about your "15 minutes"....his went up in smoke and not in a Cheech & Chong bong either
The look in her eyes. She was going in for the kill.
i just fell in love with a fictional character. help.
I miss this show so much.
All current social media.....
Go Sloan!!!
It seems like nowadays "real journalism" doesn't have a vetting process either
Goddamn I love her, the way she just tore this guy a fresh new one. Why aren’t news people like this in real life when someone is blatantly being an a hole or just lying
I mean this is basically a reimagined version of an actual takedown that Jimmy Kimmel did
th-cam.com/video/2-avakrRUaU/w-d-xo.html
They aren't as well-scripted, alas 😄
Sloane did not come to play 👏🏾
If you find this great, watch Jimmy Kimmel real interview for Gawker app on which this scene is based on.
I'm in love.
A price is a punishment. Some are worth it and some are not
55k a year, double what a family of 4 makes. Wow, what year was all this, 2007?
"Piles of cash" how time flies
'How do you feel there, big guy?'
'Like I just got screwed with my pants on'
While her point on him being well paid is valid, she does not factor in living factors that go into that. While 50k is enough for a family of four in Toledo Ohio, it is not enough for the NY metro area.
Excellent scene. If only this sort of thing happened in real life more frequently.
Good god... I don't think this kind of brutality is actually allowed in youtube rules.
I love this scene, more so after seeing the real life Jimmy Kimmel interview. Amazing.
And this, the top 5% of the best dialogue to ever be put in a tv series is apparently worth only 3 seasons while your average pleb watches how many seasons of the big bang theory?
Some of us watched both.
This is exactly how All news organizations speak today
Without the intention of it being true
The OP statement is a prime example of how deliberate lies by people like Trump have encouraged people to make unsupported statements like this. While no news organization is perfect, most still try to report the truth. That includes Fox News Division (but not it's commentators).
Ironically, the weakening of the line between news and opinion is mostly a response to what viewers want.
best new show ever and the only one who told it strait.
LIFE IS TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED ❤️ LOVE ALONE CAN CONQUER THE WORLD
Psylocke on fire!
I love that show. I wish they'd reboot it. That might have been the best scene in a show chock-full of them.
So Sloane sabbath is the reason why this dude formed intelligencia.
Vetted? LMAO
Try to think in terms of RTML, only with an ad- sponsored platform with an app.
The only difference is that it is illegal in most countries to kill a person with machetes, but not illegal with 24-hour surveillance and syndication and crowd fare.
And journalists who were portrayed as protectors are in fact perpetrators themselves.
That is the analogy to the reality.
If news were like this it'd be worth watching.
One of the better better better scenes ever produced
Has Terry Smith ever appeared on the show ? The only Terry I saw was Terry crews playing lonny.
Wait wait wait, wasn't Eliots show still on after News Night?
This was when will was in jail i think she was filling in for will she says it at the end
Nah what it actually is is that Elliot’s show was at 10(I think?) but Washington was right before it aka right after will’s show
The news out of DC came after Will. Then Elliott.
Oh gee, this is looks sooo real.
Ryan's Vision
Is that She-Hulk guy?
The common thread? Aaron Sorkin
more like "the truth about what some people call "news" today straight from the newsroom"
This reminds me of the female celeb (forgot her name) who was shot/murdered at a bar in the US when she was signing autographs
And this is what the news should be doing rather than jumping on the wagon
In an Aaron Sorkin Universe America would actually like up to its ideals
And you have people like Tucker Carlson arguing in court that they are not a news broadcast, but entertainment...
Seeing people die inside lmao
Perfect
Currently (May 17, 2017) only one thumb down; bet it's from Bree.
btw, why did Sorkin give that guy two female names?
June 17, 2017: Two dislikes. Pruit must have found this clip...
@CD Smith 5th July 2020 - 50 even
I wish Sloan had her own show..
That guy looks like a long lost sprouse brother
fuking
REKT
man holy shit
that's a press f moment right there
She is such a strong independent proud black woman.
Now that I think about it, there would probably be some sort of journalistic penalty for her revealing his yearly earnings. Still cool though.
why should there be a penalty? there are some averages for different jobs posted so you can guess already, I don't see how it is a sensitive info
@@jozefpecha3020 Private information
@@theguywhoisaustralian1465 well yes, but I though USA has a website with posted salaries by profession... I don't think it's such a secret how much the guy makes
There are websites that post the salaries of "super-athletes!" Why would there be a penalty for announcing the salary of a techno-geek who wants to expose "super-models" and "high-profile actors?" I guess "turnabout is fair play" isn't in your rule book. Sad.
The guy got bullied on national TV and everyone was happy he was.
And this is when Sloan killed Charlie.
